One of the easiest raita recipes is this Aloo Raita. This potato raita recipe requires just a handful of ingredients and is a great side dish for whole-grain roti and biryani.
I’m not sure why or how I missed out on making such a simple and delicious Aloo Raita. When browsing through recipes to make for the Haryana Thali, I came across this Potato Raita, and it caught my eye right away.
With the spicy Hara cholia and paneer subzi , I figured that this Aloo Raita will work great.
After I tasted the raita with the bajra roti , I realized that all I needed was this raita to go along with the bajra roti . It tasted wonderful and paired great with the bajra roti. It also has the most common ingredients.
I used some roasted cumin powder as well as chaat masala. Chaat masala is purely optional, and you can skip it if you don’t have any.
